Respite Care is when the carer needs a break and the person being cared for is then cared for by others. Sometimes it is the cared for that needs a break (from the carer).

At Askham, we make this happen by providing an experience of care and rejuvenation that is as valuable as it is satisfying.

We take care of complex care needs of the elderly frail or the young physically disabled as part of our 'excellence in care' service based on meeting the assessed needs of the client; options for a value-add rehabilitation programme that aims to significantly enhance the clients well being is also available during any Respite Care visit.

Whether you need to use our Respite facility for 3 nights or 1-2-3 weeks, be assured that you will be cared for by professional staff that will have your interest uppermost in their minds.

Visit us for an assessment or request a visit by one of our Nurse Care Managers, Physiotherapist or the Head of Nursing.
